This section of statute also requires each county health department to develop, jointly with the district school board and the local school health advisory committee, a school health services plan. The local school health services plan must include provisions for vision and hearing screening.
Around age 3Â½, kids should have eye health screenings and visual acuity tests (tests that measure sharpness of vision) with their pediatrician or family doctor. Around age 5, kids should have their vision and eye alignment checked by their pediatrician or family doctor.
If you live in the US and your baby is between 9 mo to 1 year, there is a program where you can take your baby to the eye doctor for a checkup for free. They can tell you if your baby's eyes are developing normally.
